After watching this victory, the only gain for Manchester United fans is perhaps Mbermo

Chaos, instability, and problems. This is the impression Manchester United left on everyone in the new season.

However, in this desperate darkness, a faint but firm light of hope suddenly lit up. He is Brian Mbomo, a new player in the summer window worth £71 million.

He may not be the savior who can save the entire team by his own strength. But in the current soulless Red Devil Formation, he is at least that fig leaf. He is not like a Manchester United player over the years, we have seen too many attackers lost at Old Trafford. They pass the ball casually, shoot outrageously, and play unintended emotional football.

But Mbermo is completely different.

He dares to get the ball, dares to break through, turns skillfully, and runs flexibly. He scored a key goal for the team and sent five key passes against Burnley. He is like a sharp knife, becoming the only pioneer in the timid and unimaginative Manchester United team who can tear away the opponent's intensive defense.

He should not be the one who took the blame

A few days ago, Mbeumo lost a penalty in the League Cup that was shamelessly lost to the fourth-level team Grimsby.

However, if you watch the entire game, you will never blame him for the loss. In that game, he came on as a substitute, injected great vitality and scored a goal to extend his life to the team.

Manchester United's elimination was the culprit of various mistakes in the entire team. Mubermo's penalty kick was just the last straw that defeated the camel, and he shouldn't have taken the blame for it. The problem of Manchester United is still shocking. The defensive organization was chaotic, the set-piece defense was clumsy, and he still lost two goals against the newly promoted Burnley.

But in Mbomo, we at least see hope.

He can't change the face of the team alone, but his dedication and vitality style of playing football is exactly what this Red Devils needs most. In a dark cave, he is the torch that can illuminate the way forward for the team. Manchester United's road to reconstruction is still long and painful. A thrilling victory against the newly promoted team cannot solve any fundamental problem.

But at least, Mbermo's appearance gave the painful Red Devils fans a positive signal worth looking forward to. In a bad era, having such a player who goes all out is a small comfort in itself.
